I'm having one this coming Wednesday as my broken tooth has got to the point where it's being in my mouth is becoming a nightmare. I've not had any dental work in years, mostly because up until last November I hadn't been to the dentist for about 5 years.

It doesn't really matter how painful or uncomfortable a tooth extraction is as I'm still getting it done, I just want to prepare myself for what could be a very unpleasant experience.

I don't understand people who say 'Oh, the dentist is, like, THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!'. It's fine. Lie back, open your mouth, chill out. It's like being asleep only with a map of the solar system pinned to the ceiling.

the first time the anaesthetic made me sick which wasn't fun. The anaesthetic made me really woozy even though it was only local. Er yeah you can't feel it but the worst thing is the pulling, it's awful and the noise as he's getting hold of it and as it comes out eurgh oh I feel a bit sick again. I hated it. And I don't really like blood and it bled quite a lot, but then I was having 2-3 out at a time. Very unpleasant.

they put a load of injections in the roof of my mouth which was a bit weird, and pulled the teeth out. it did make disgusting sounds, but all in all, it was alright. just try not to think about it when it's happening

The worst bit was the injections in the roof of my mouth. It felt like the needle was still in there.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't rush to have it done again but it wasn't all that bad and it sorted me right out.

it was fine. worst part is looking like harry redknapp for the rest of the day until the anaesthetic wears off. aftermath also takes it's toll on what you can and can't eat for a few days too (obviously) but it's more annoying than painful.

I had exactly the same problem just before christmas. Half a tooth at the back had fallen out months previously, and then out of nowhere a big absyss came alone and grew on the side of my gum and made the other half a tooth all wobbly. I was in agone. Nothing worse than toothache.

So I went to the dentist and he said he had to take the tooth out immediatly. He took the tooth out and, apparently, scraped all the poison from the absyss. The tooth extraction doesn't hurt, it's uncomfortable and you will have an injection but you won't really feel any pain.

Be careful, I was not given antibiotics, even though I had an absyss I was not given antibotics. Two days passed and I was in agony, bleeding gums...agone agony agony agony. It's called an empty socket. REALLY HURTS. So make sure you look after your mouth after the extraction. Don't drink alcohol for 24 hours, no cigerettes, and don't eat something like rice that can get in places you don't want it.

I have valium when I go (Yes I'm scared of the dentist). One time I went I was found drooling in Debenhams absolutely off my face, mumbling rubbish with those cotton wool things covered in blood hanging out of my mouth. On my next visit, I managed to book a taxi to and from the dentist, got home and had a little snooze, woke up feeling refresh and had a few lagers and decided to do some gardening (bad choice). My ex came home and wondered why I cut a small entrance in one of the trees to which I repied "it's for the little people to come in" then she saw the damage that I did in the back garden.
P.s. also managed to stop a ride in disney when my temporary tooth fell out

The injection wasn't too pleasant and initially when whe started pulling it out it was really painful, so she gave me a bit more anaesthetic. Then started hacking away at the tooth pulling it out bit by bit. All done in ten minutes and a few days uncomfortableness and then it was business as usual. Don't even notice it's gone. It was the lower back one so no one can see a gap or anything.
Overall it's really not as bad as you think it will be. I was lucky in that I had it taken out only 15 minutes after I knew it had to be removed. didn't have days of dreading it's removal.

cos i cant rly afford new jeans. im also punk as FUCK. oh god the PAIN. the needly thingy BENT IN MY FOOT as well so pulling it out was so bad i felt it in my chest. my foot still feels a bit sore a month on.
